Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Jake Weber and Mekhi Phifer head an ensemble cast in a re-envisioning of George Romero's apocalyptic horror classic, Dawn of the Dead. An unexplained plague has decimated the world's population and yet.the dead things aren't dying. They've become zombies, stalking endlessly in a constant quest to feed on the flesh and blood of
the few remaining living.
A ragtag group of desperate survivors in a Wisconsin town seek refuge in a large indoor mall, where they must learn not only to protect themselves from the ever-increasing zombie horde, but also to co-exist
with each other as a last bastion of humanity. Sealed off from the rest of what used to be the world, the group uses every available resource (both within and without) in their against-all-odds fight to remain alive and human.
Dawn of the Dead is directed by Zack Snyder from an adapted screenplay by James Gunn; it is produced by Richard P. Rubinstein, Marc Abraham and
Eric Newman.

To access the Red Queen, the team must pass through a series of increasingly horrifying obstacles in the maze-like hive. These include deadly lasers, mutant dogs and a vast specimen room where Alice witnesses the results of Umbrella's evil experimental research.
